Lots of bloggers were sharing the advent calendars they were making in November, so I thought I would share mine.
I made this advent calendar probably 10+ years ago. It was one of my first wool felt projects.
The design is by Jo Ann Mullaly. I love how it is primitive with some fun embellishments.
The patches each represent a day and you turn them over daily.
I personalized it using our names on the stockings.
I like the variety of patches with Santas, snowmen, trees, angels, and stockings.
I had to shop around for quite awhile to find all the buttons.
I have been really busy with my quilting this weekend and plan on getting outside to take some pictures of my progress.
What are you up to?
What a fun advent calendar! Sometimes the best loved projects are the ones we did many years ago... I love the primitive look of yours!
ReplyDeleteI love your advent quilt. I have a question about how you embroidery. When you back the block w/ batting then embroidery it, then do you leave the batting & add another layer throughout the quilt? Or do you cut all the excess away then add or do you quilt each block as you go? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great advent calendar quilt. You'll treasure it!
